In these poems written over the course of a year, Holly Haworth trace[s] the moon through the traceless sky" in a meditation both on time's cyclical nature and how it slips away-and on writing as a way of time-keeping, poetry a tool for etching memory. We find Haworth no less in thrall to language than to the land. As she probes the failure of words to capture the world, she puts us under a spell, enlivens our hearts with nature and mystery. Her words break into pieces, spaces open within the lines as she asks us to slow down and feel how language and time unfold, how they might offer sustenance. The more subtle the changes from moon-phase to moon-phase, the more carefully Haworth pauses to notice-to take note of, in this intimate kind of almanac, in which her body is the surest way of connecting to the earth's cycles. Moments become visceral acts of communion, of sensual presence. There is a devotion here both to the death that is inherent to time's passing, and to the life that is constantly arising. Mournful lament and exuberant praise, THE WAY THE MOON compels us to stop in our tracks and savor even the losses"--
